Chevrolet really, really wants you to start thinking about the all-new, sixth-generation 2016 Camaro, releasing a statement saying that the fifth-gen model’s sales set “the bar high for the next chapter of the car’s history”—the 500,000th example of the current car will be sold sometime this month—but, more important, posting a video that shows the new Camaro.

Okay, so the video is mostly the current car raising hell, and it doesn’t show the new Camaro uncovered, but the new coupe races by the camera and helps confirm a few details we’d speculated on when we published spy photos on two separate occasions last year. The roof, for example, looks to get an attractive double-bubble treatment that bulges over each front seat, and the car will indeed sport taut, muscular bodywork. That bodywork, by the way, will be draped over a smaller, lighter platform, as the 2016 Camaro will transition to the Alpha rear-drive architecture also found beneath the sweet-driving Cadillac ATS sedan and coupe.
